Re: Academy and Buying Ammo and carded?



Well I guess they are more concerned with PC than sales,
which they have the right to do, but, and while my decisions probably won't affect their bottom line, I am not purchasing anything from Academy until this policy is recinded JMHO

pushpullpete wrote:Ladies and Gentlemen, there are a number of comments about large purchases of ammo & carding. How much ammo is a large purchase ? I am recently on the downhill side of sixty :shock: and have always been considered something of a conspiracy theorerist. I am verrrry slooow when asked to present ID, or any personal info when I don't believe it's needed, I usually will not comply w/those requests and instead ask to speak to a manager. When asked for ID to purchase ammo (if it ever happens) I will not show it. Store policy. Ok, I will shop elsewhere. That store, and/or most like it, can not be trusted to safeguard my personal info. This has been proven repeatedly by data breaches around the world. I do not shoot my 30-30 very often (I take it out of the safe, inspect & clean it 2x/yr, needed or not) so buying 100 rds would be alot, however, that same amount in a different caliber would not last 10min on our next range visit. My wife likes pulling the trigger more than I do. I recently purchased 1000 rds of 40 and didn't think twice about paying for it and yes, I pd cash.
I can't find anything official on Academys website. Their press releases don't address it either. Where did any of you find this information ? Please share if possible.

:iagree:

No one gets my personal info especially if is to be kept in some data base that is not secure. I will respond the same as pushpullpete, if it demanded as store policy then that store will lose my business, there are too many options available. for me to be cowed by one retailer.

Re: Academy and Buying Ammo and carded?

I bought approximately the same amount of 5.56 ammo at Academy last week,( I think I just bought 6 boxes) and there was no request for ID or anything else other than the required currency to pay for it. Either it's a new store policy, he was new and did not know the law, or he was just being a jerk.
